The 2018 NFL season was one that Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette would like to forget. With only 439 rushing yards in eight games, Fournette was absent a majority of the season with injuries, inappropriate on-field behavior, and an offseason run-in with the police that left many questioning the former LSU star’s tenure with […]

Calais Campbell hasn’t given up on the prospect that Telvin Smith will end up taking the field in 2019 after all. Just over three weeks after the Jacksonville Jaguars’ star linebacker announced he was stepping away from football this season, Campbell told reporters on Monday that he continues hoping Smith will reconsider his stance. “I’m […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Pryor is expected to be on the field with the Jaguars at organized team activities on Monday.

Nick Foles’ wife, Tori, is the person who decided the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback should return to his new team so soon after she suffered a miscarriage.  At practice on Friday, Foles explained that is was Tori who first suggested it was time for him to continue offseason training with his teammates. “If my wife needed […]

Early in the 2019 off-season, the Jacksonville Jaguars made the quarterback switch most, at that point, expected; swapping Blake Bortles for Nick Foles. By now, you know that story of Foles. But, if you don’t, let’s catch you up (if you do, skip to the third paragraph). In 2012, he was drafted by the Eagles […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted defensive end Josh Allen to be a pass rusher, and even though he showed flashes in coverage during college, they don’t expect to drop him into coverage much in the NFL. During Allen’s final season with the Kentucky Wildcats, he finished with 21.5 tackles for a loss and 17 sacks and […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles is back at OTA’s after missing a couple of practices to be with his wife who was recovering from a miscarriage.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are bringing in a big, new target for their big, new quarterback.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Jaguars worked out Pryor on Wednesday.

Chris Conley is heading into a new situation for the first time in his career. The wide receiver was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2015, and spent the first four years of his career there. They always had the same coach in Andy Reid, so it was a stable situation for Conley. Now […]

An interesting story is developing with Nick Foles and the Jacksonville Jaguars after the team announced on Monday that the newly signed quarterback won’t be attending OTAs. Nick Foles will not be at OTAs for personal reasons and there’s no timetable for his return, #Jaguars say — Daniel Popper (@danielrpopper) May 28, 2019 Mike Garafolo […]

Two years ago, the Jacksonville Jaguars looked like they were next up in the AFC. They had just won 10 games, captured the AFC South division title and made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game where they came within one quarter of beating the New England Patriots. Entering the 2018 campaign, many […]

For the second straight year, a prospect named Josh Allen was selected at No. 7 overall in the NFL Draft. Unlike last year’s Josh Allen, a quarterback, this year’s Josh Allen will make his money taking down shot-callers in the backfield. The Jacksonville Jaguars seemingly lucked into the Kentucky pass rusher when he unexpectedly fell […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have ushered in some significant changes this offseason. Regardless, it appears the plan for running back Leonard Fournette will remain the same. Despite his recent struggles, Fournette has served as the Jaguars workhorse since his arrival in 2017. Head coach John DeFilippo was adamant that the team will continue to rely heavily […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars did not exactly have a great season in 2018, and running back Leonard Fournette was one of the players who labored most. Limited to just eight games due to injuries, Fournette rushed for just 439 yards and five touchdowns while averaging a meager 3.3 yards per carry, one season after he racked […]

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue is entering the final year of his contract, but with pass rushers all around the league landing big deals, he knows his time is coming: “That [the amount those players received] is not a secret,” Ngakoue said, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. “We all can go on the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this past season, as injuries limited in to eight games and he finished with just 439 yards and five touchdowns while averaging a meager 3.3 yards per carry. Still, the Jaguars have hope that he will rebound in 2019, and […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a new quarterback, and, as a result, they have a new playbook with it. Nick Foles arrived on the scene earlier this offseason, so the Jaguars will have some new wrinkles in their offense in 2019. Foles says there is a lot to learn, but notes that everyone seems to be […]

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Josh Allen is a little banged up, but don’t panic, it doesn’t appear to be serious. The first round pick is being held out of Thursday’s practice with a knee contusion, per John Oehser of the team’s official site. Jaguars coach Doug Marrone clarified that it wasn’t anything to worry about, saying […]

The Minnesota Vikings selected Irv Smith with their second-round pick in this year’s draft. After Smith’s name was called, it likely spelled the end of Kyle Rudolph’s tenure with the Vikings. The Vikings are tight on cap space with just $1.1 million remaining (32nd in the NFL). Trading someone like Rudolph could provide some cap […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially have a new starting quarterback under center with veteran signal caller Blake Bortles now part of the Los Angeles Rams. Vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin notably signed former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl hero Nick Foles earlier this offseason while the longtime New York Giants head coach couldn’t […]

Jacksonville Jaguars first-round pick Josh Allen played linebacker with the Kentucky Wildcats but that didn’t stop him from finishing at the top of edge pressures for players in the 2019 draft. According to Pro Football Focus, Allen had a 23.5 percent pressure rate and that is going to be an issue for offensive lines across […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a very disappointing season after surprising everyone just two seasons ago. After being declared out of playoff contention just about halfway through the 2018 season, things could have gone much better for the Jaguars as they made the AFC Championship the year prior. Now with a much-improved offense led […]

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith hasn’t opened up anymore about why he is stepping away from the game of football for at least a season but one teammate has a hunch that he is battling some type of health issues. Defensive tackle Abry Jones knows Smith is trying to get healthy but he reached out […]

With Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith announcing last week that he isn’t playing football in 2019, there have been rumors flying that Myles Jack might be switching positions to take his spot. Jack played the strong-side and middle linebacker position his first two seasons but he doesn’t want to be the guy switching positions. Jack […]

Two years ago, Leonard Fournette made a huge impact as a rookie for the Jacksonville Jaguars, rushing for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns while hauling in 36 receptions for 302 yards and a score. He played a significant role in leading the Jaguars to the playoffs and then eventually the AFC Championship Game, and in […]

Never count Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles out. As a second-year player, he made the Pro Bowl while posting the third-highest passer rating in NFL history, and then, as a seemingly washed up retread, led the Philadelphia Eagles to their first-ever Super Bowl victory in 2017. A former third-round pick, Foles was finally rewarded this […]

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith recently announced he would step away from football for the 2019 season. That did not sit well with some people, who criticized Smith’s decision. In response to those people, Smith posted an Instagram story on Saturday blasting his critics and reminding them that football isn’t the be-all and end-all in […]

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone made it clear on Friday that the team is there to support linebacker Telvin Smith in any way they can.

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith recently took to Instagram to speak out regarding his current status in “Sacksonville.” While it appears as though Smith isn’t leaving the Jaguars anytime soon, his relationship with head coach Doug Marrone and the rest of the franchise in Jacksonville may be a bit strained. “Understand this, I never left […]

For the first time since 2015, Nick Foles will open the season as a starting quarterback. Sounds weird, right? Yes, Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles to their first ever Super Bowl title during the 2017 campaign. And yes, he led them to another playoff win this past season, but Foles doesn’t actually have a huge […]

Leonard Fournette had an incredibly rough season for the Jacksonville Jaguars last year. He even faced rumors that the team could look to trade or release him this offseason. Despite all of the rumors, he is set to enter the 2019 NFL season as the starting running back alongside of new quarterback Nick Foles. While […]

Could Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue be looking for a new contract? It seems that way. Ngakoue has joined cornerback Jalen Ramsey and linebacker Telvin Smith as Jaguars players that are absent from offseason workouts, but the difference with Ngakoue is that he actually attended for the first few days before leaving, according to […]

University of Kentucky pass rusher Josh Allen was considered one of the top defensive prospects in this year’s NFL Draft, and he ended up going to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 7. The thing is, Allen played outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense at Kentucky, and the Jaguars play a 4-3. That means Allen will […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally have a franchise quarterback capable of taking them deep into the playoffs. Still, if the team’s standout offensive line is any indication, that hardly means coach Doug Marrone’s team will be abandoning its time-honored smashmouth identity offensively. Early in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Jaguars traded the […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars spent the early portion of their 2019 NFL Draft continuing to stack up a defense that was already one of the fiercest in the league, drafting Kentucky linebacker Josh Allen with the seventh overall pick in the draft. Thankfully for Jaguars fans, Allen was one of the highest touted players coming into […]

Kentucky Wildcats linebacker slipped a bit in the draft falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars at seven, but it set up a pretty unique situation if Josh Allen going at No. 7 sounds familiar it should because the same thing happened in the 2018 NFL Draft. In the 2018 draft, it was the Buffalo Bills who […]
